Apologist Argues Gospel of John Proves Isaiah Saw Jesus Enthroned
What was said
"Isaiah saw Yahweh. Saint John says Isaiah saw Jesus. The Apostle John leaves us no room for ambiguity. The God seated upon the heavenly throne in Isaiah 6 is Jesus Christ."
William argued that John 12:41, which states Isaiah saw Jesus's glory, proves that the divine throne vision in Isaiah 6—where Isaiah sees Yahweh—was actually a pre-incarnate vision of Jesus Christ. This represents a key Trinitarian apologetic move: identifying Old Testament theophanies as appearances of the pre-incarnate Son. Daniel countered that God has no form according to Moses, making the Isaiah vision impossible to interpret literally, but William maintained the early church fathers unanimously affirmed this Christological reading.
